    Its just the price of fuel these days.

    The era of cheap fossil fuels is over and people had better get used to it.

    You need to

    a)Make sure your well insulated
    b)make sure your on the best tarrif
    c)Use fuel wisely and try to conserve
    d)Wear appropriate clothing ..for eg thermal vest in the house etc
    e)Dont get involved in monthly budget credit schemes as they often lead to even more debt
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Hi we are with eon
    they told us if we wanted DD to pay £125 per month for gas & electric - (3 bed house, some one in all the time)
    But we had pre paid meters we use about £50 a month on electric but in summer only used about £10 a month on gas - for water and cooking - Now we are putting about £100 per month on to keep us warm. I wish I;d just stuck extra on the gas during the summer.

    Mark2004uk how much gas are you using in summer - if this is £60 this is to much and you should ask them to check you meter.

    Probs £40 in summer on gas, but we only have the heat on in winter hour in mornin and hour at night thats all we can afford.
  • Who can check meters, I have asked before whilst with other suppliers and they tell me that there's no debt on the meters but it's impossible to use this amount of cash !!!! for 2 of us surely.. :mad:
